The guy was an ace, and he flew from the start of the war until the end. There are other aces on the site that are less remarkable. What gives? Danimal57 (talk) 23:44, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's cool that a page that I started might be interesting enough to go into DYK. Overall, there's an issue with legendary warriors, in that facts sometimes become obscured by legend. This gets compounded in WW2 because the propaganda apparat wrote the historic record. For example, the whole "one slug" myth as presented in the article is hogwash. Mac was stingy with ammunition, but it's impossible to fire a single round from a Hellcat.

Also, the "1st Hellcat ace" nonsense is only true with constraints. Mac was most likely the first guy to score five kills where all those kills were in the F6F. But how many Navy aces got their five kills in a mixture of F6F Hellcat missions mixed with missions flown in F4F Wildcats? Are those guys not "Hellcat aces"? I doubt that anybody knows whether another pilot got to ace status with a mix of Hellcat and Wildcat victories. To me, there's a lot of myth, legend, and propaganda mixed into any and all of the official histories regarding WW2 heroes.

Don't get me wrong, I like it that way and I'd like to see Mac on "did you know". He seemed like a good guy to me and he should be remembered, but there's some hokum and hogwash mixed into the facts. Danimal57 (talk) 17:50, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Hamilton McWhorter III

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Hamilton McWhorter III), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
